Head injuries scare us for obvious reasons. Thankfully, we've survived a Week 11 scare. The Philadelphia Eagles have endured a first-half dogfight with the division rival Washington Commanders.
They trailed 7-3 at the half. Fortunately, they'll walk into the second half hoping to make a comeback. They'll do so WITH their franchise signal-caller.
Jalen Hurts returns to Week 11 game vs. Commanders despite fear he may have suffered a concussion.
Regardless of the outcome of Philly's first of two meetings vs. the Washington Commanders, we'll certainly spend time discussing two plays, a first-and-ten trick play and a third-and-goal attempt as the second quarter was expiring.
Unfortunately, Jalen Hurts' head hit the turf violently during both plays.

QB1 spent time in the medical tent but jogged off the field. Worry surfaced that he may have suffered a concussion.

Fortunately, there is good news to report. He's been cleared to return to action.
Once the Eagles emerged from the locker room, QB1 was with them, in full pads with his helmet on. He's cleared to play. Let's hope he's at his best. First place in the NFC East is on the line. If Philly wins, they take sole possession of the top spot in the division and are in the driver's seat.
